Taxonomy Project
This page relates to the Taxonomy Project and shows a listing of different taxa. The canonicity of this page is disputable.

The Taxonomy Project is an effort initiated by Zoadra to further classify the myriad creatures of the Pikmin Planet. It is based upon the real-life taxonomy system developed by Carl Linnaeus called binomial nomenclature. Currently only canonical creatures are officially classified, however, fanon lifeforms may be unofficially classified by their creator. All classifications above family are conjecture by various editors here.

Usage

Enemies that appear in Pikmin 1, Pikmin 2, Pikmin 3, and Hey! Pikmin will be divided these groups, which are simplified from their real-life counterparts:

Kingdom

Four kingdoms will be used: Animalia, animals; Plantae, vegetation; Fungi, mushrooms; and Therobotania, plant-animal hybrids. Some exceptions can be made with creatures such as the Goolix.

Phylum

Phylum is the next division. Phylums should be quite general. More than one family should be found in most phylums.

Class

Class is a major division and should be more specific. Most classes should have more than one family.

Order

Order is used as an extra field to sort major differences between species. Listing order is not required.

Family

Family is canonically provided. It is a group of similar lifeforms a creature belongs in.

Genus

Genus is the first word in the scientific name of each creature.

Species

Species is the second word of the scientific name and is completely unique for all animals. Listing it is not necessary.

Details

The family, genus, and species of a creature are considered canonical and are classified already by Captain Olimar, and Alph, Brittany, and Charlie. All that must be done is placing enemies into taxonomic categories. A creature's order is not required. The kingdom, phylum, and class of a creature are all considered fanonical, or fan-made. A dedicated infobox template exists for this project, and is to be placed directly under an enemy infobox or Pikmin infobox.

To see a collection of every article that is currently part of the Taxonomy Project, see its category.

+The '''Taxonomy Project''' is an effort initiated by [[User:Zoadra|Zoadra]] to further classify the myriad creatures of the [[PNF-404|Pikmin Planet]]. It is based upon the real-life taxonomy system developed by {{w|Carl Linnaeus}} called {{w|binomial nomenclature}}. Currently only [[:Category:Canon|canonical]] creatures are officially classified, however, fanon lifeforms may be unofficially classified by their creator. All classifications above family are [[PikminFanon:General content policy|conjecture]] by various editors here.
-:[[User:Peanut64|Peanut64]] started his own project called the Taxonomy Project for Pikmin Fanon. It is an Animal classification project that further separates all the Canon enemies further than the Pikmin games show. This is a project to further classify the Enemines of both games. This system would be done by using the real system crafted by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolus_Linnaeus Carolus Linnaeus]. Anyone can classify the Canon enemies, and when all of them are classified, we may allow Fanon enemies to be categorized.
 ==Usage==
+Enemies that appear in {{p1}}, {{p2}}, {{p3}}, and {{hp}} will be divided these groups, which are simplified from their real-life counterparts:
-The Canon enemies of Pikmin 1 and 2 will be divided into a simplified version of the groups:
 ===Kingdom===
+Four kingdoms will be used: [[PikminFanon:Taxonomy Project/Animalia|Animalia]], animals; [[PikminFanon:Taxonomy Project/Plantae|Plantae]], vegetation; [[PikminFanon:Taxonomy Project/Fungi|Fungi]], mushrooms; and [[PikminFanon:Taxonomy Project/Therobotania|Therobotania]], plant-animal hybrids. Some exceptions can be made with creatures such as the [[Goolix]].
-Only two kingdoms are expected, Animalia and Plantae. Some exceptions can be made with things such as the [[Mitite]] species.
 ===Phylum===
+Phylum is the next division. Phylums should be quite general. More than one family should be found in most phylums.
-The Phylum is the next smaller division. Its most common Phylum is expected to be Chordata. Chordata consists of fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
 ===Class===
+Class is a major division and should be more specific. Most classes should have more than one family.
-The class is the major division in the Animal Kingdom, and would start the '''making of Fanon Classes'''. The real classes in the Animalia Kingdom are so diverse that it is better to just make new Classes '''but keep only one class for each animal'''.
 ===Order===
+Order is used as an extra field to sort major differences between species. Listing order is not required.
-We will skip Order for time management reasons. This is the hardest to classify. So '''DO NOT''' put the order in the Taxonomy orderings.
 ===Family===
+Family is canonically provided. It is a group of similar lifeforms a creature belongs in.
-The family is already listed, so this is an easy part.
 ===Genus===
+Genus is the first word in the scientific name of each creature.
-This is another easy thing to order, because the Genus is basically the first word in the Scientific Name of the species.
 ===Species===
+Species is the second word of the scientific name and is completely unique for all animals. Listing it is not necessary.
-The species itself is the actual Enemy name, and is the Species the Boss name. This is already set for all of the Enemies.
 ==Details==
+The family, genus, and species of a creature are considered canonical and are classified already by [[Captain Olimar]], and [[Alph]], [[Brittany]], and [[Charlie]]. All that must be done is placing enemies into taxonomic categories. A creature's order is not required. The kingdom, phylum, and class of a creature are all considered fanonical, or fan-made. A dedicated [[Template:Infobox taxonomy|infobox template]] exists for this project, and is to be placed directly under an [[Template:Infobox enemy|enemy infobox]] or [[Template:Infobox Pikmin|Pikmin infobox]].
-The Species, Family and Genus are already considered "Canon" and are classified already. All we have to do is list the Enemy into these categories. The Order is out of the question unless we have done all of the rest and feel like it. The Kingdom, Phylum, and Class are all going to be considered "Fanon" hence the reason Pikmin Fanon is the better place to do this Project on. A template exists for this project, and is placed directly under the Enemy Infobox. [[Template:Taxa|<nowiki>{{Taxa}}</nowiki>]]
